Today is our 5th year anniversary and all I really want to do is to sit down on the couch and watch one of these classics with the Mister. These are some of my all time favorite movies about the highs and lows of marriage.

Buon Anniversario M! ♡

Still Thinking About Fall

I was excited to feel the seasons change earlier last week, but by the end of the week it was hot hot hot! It was only 100 degrees around the bay area today...insane! Instead of picking a cozy Fall outfit I ended up wearing a tank top and a skirt. Even with the crazy hot weather I am still thinking of Fall attire. I like the shape of the jacket from Steven Alan, but it may be a few weeks before I can even think about wearing jackets.

A few looks I like from Secret Squirrel.

ACNE Spring 2011: Anime Styling

                               

When I went through the ACNE 2011 Spring Lookbook I fell in love with the denim suit, but in the back of my mind I kept thinking how similar the model was styled like Jigen Daisuke from Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro. Now I am thinking how this post makes me look like an Anime freak...I am not, but I do like this movie a lot, and the suit.

Fall Fragrance

When I woke up this morning it was suddenly Fall it got me thinking about Fall fragrances. I am really excited about the new Fall/Winter fragrance from Diptyque Eau Duelle. Notes of the perfume include:  two types of vanilla, bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, elemi, juniper, saffron, calamus, frankincense, cypriol, black tea, amber, and musk. Sounds good to me. What is your Fall fragrance? Any favorites?

Naptime

Naptime is not happening any more...*sigh*.

Set for Fall and ready for Spring. Do we really have to go through the Fall/Winter season?

Hands In My Pockets

I love clothing with roomy pockets...useful at times when I am cold, but mostly anxious.
A Detacher Dixon Herringbone Dress and Rachel Comey Dinner Pants at Creatures of Comfort.

Do I Dare...

wear the infamous Canadian Tuxedo? nah, I will leave that for the professionals. I must say Jenna Lyons can pull off any look.

Somewhere

Sofia Coppola's Somewhere won the Golden Lion award for best film at the 67th Venice Film Festival. She is the fourth woman director to win the award. The film is based partly on her own experience of traveling and staying in hotels with her father when she was growing up.

I love the colors and details of Elle Fanning's Marc Jacobs dress.

Fleabags

I love the new Fleabags at Pretty Mommy.

Loeffler Randall & Suno: Happy Together

What a great collaboration. The Spring 2011 Suno collection makes me giddy...i luv the jumpsuit and the Audra snap flat sandals.

It is finally feeling like Fall in Northern California...time to break out all the Fall attire we have been coveting, planning, and saving for.

Sonia Rykiel

The Fall 2010 Enfant Collection is adorable! I love the fox scarf. Never thought I would ever like a bean bag chair, but in this case I will take the black floral number....and maybe some of Rykiel's signature knit wear.
